Chapter 153: Intimate Listeners
The rice in the fields quickly turned from green to yellow, but before the autumn harvest began, the results of the campaign came out.
Although only one-third of the young men who went to the military inspection were tested, this was also a great joy in the village.
The young men who passed the physical examination and political examination went to the nearby shallow mountains to hunt and catch eight or nine small prey.
Each young man's home produced a little grain and vegetables, and a big pot was put on the drying field to make a big pot of rice, which was a celebration on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also practiced for these young men who were already quasi-soldiers.
Although there are also more vegetables and less meat, and a lot of red lotus is added to the rice, everyone can get the meat, and the adults and dolls are all beaming.
Although there are a few tables in the drying room, they are all for the men who drink.
The women usually eat their meals standing in the bath or at home.
The little dolls are even less particular, each holding their own bowl, and the little friends are scurrying around in the drying field.
Duan Huan looked at Xia Miao absentmindedly and sullenly with a bowl of food, usually he has the best appetite.
"Xia Miao! What's wrong with you? The dish is not appetizing, huh? Wan Huan asked.
Xia Miao shook her head and said, "The food is delicious, but I'm a little bored in my heart!" ”
"Why? What's wrong? "The relationship between Duan Huan and Xia Miao is still good, and if her friends have troubles, she is still willing to be a close listener.
Xia Miao sighed, "Isn't it that my eldest brother didn't get into high school and didn't get into the army?" Every day at home, yin and yang are weird! ”
"He's angry, what are you doing with him? Usually you don't like each other! It's time to eat, drink! Filling your stomach is the last word! "I took another bite of food.
Qiuyue also came in and said, "That's it, but Brother Chunsheng is too, no one else in the village has been tested in the army, aren't you happy to come to dinner today?" Just he's a lot of scenes! ”
"I don't care how my brother is, it's just that my mother said that it's useless to study now, and I'm worried that even if classes resume in the future, I won't be able to go to school!" Xia Miao sighed.
Xia Miao is convinced of what Duan Huan said about resuming classes, he likes to read and his brain is already smart, and his reading grades have always been among the best.
His mother felt a little discouraged because his brother didn't get into high school and didn't become a soldier, and felt that studying was useless.
The result of his discouragement is not his disgust and discouragement of his brother, but a direct preparation to deprive him and Qiuhe of their right to go to school.
Duan Huan also sighed, now there is generally more than one baby in the family, and it is not easy for parents to have a bowl of water when there are more children.
But like Xia Miao's mother Li Fanghua, she did everything she could to cultivate her eldest son, and it was still rare for the remaining two dolls to be raised casually.
After all, she is a real mother and not a stepmother, even if she is eccentric, she can't offend all the remaining children to death.
"The question is, do you want to go to school? Is it strong-willed? Duan Huan directly asked Xia Miao's determination to go to school.
Xia Miao paused for a few seconds before saying, "I just heard that the town is recruiting those who sit in the office, and at least they need to graduate from junior high school!" That's why I want to keep reading! ”
"So the ultimate goal is to find a job, right?" Qiu Yue also nodded when she heard this.
Xia Miao nodded, "Actually, it's okay to be a soldier, but we don't recruit soldiers here every year, so I think it's easy to find a job with an education!" ”
"Now the main problem is that your mother doesn't agree with you to go to school, and you can't convince her, what will happen to the tuition fees after the resumption of classes?" Wan Huan pointed out the crux of the problem at once.
Xia Miao shook her head, "Now I'm worried about the tuition fee, I usually go to the mountain to pick up some mountain goods or sell them, and I can make some money, but if my mother asks me to go to work on the ground to earn work, I won't have time to go up the mountain!" ”
"If you go to work now, you can't get an adult's work, and it's only four or five points," said Wan Huan after thinking about it:
"I heard Uncle Jia Jun say that when the spring starts next year, the village will collectively raise pigs and sheep, He Mingxiang will definitely not be able to get so much grass back, you can apply for cutting pig grass to earn work, this time can be arranged before and after school!"
Qiu Yue happily gestured with chopsticks when she heard this, "This method is good, you won't delay going to school if you earn your work, and you can also pick up mountain goods and save more money while classes haven't resumed!" ”
"Then I'll ask the secretary later, it would be great if I could really arrange it like this!" Xia Miao listened to the advice of Duan Huan and Qiu Yue and nodded, feeling that it was very feasible, and her mood immediately turned cloudy, and she took a big bite of the rice in the bowl.
Xia Miao's idea is actually mainly for a diploma, he himself has good ingredients, if he usually performs well in school, it is not difficult to get a junior high school graduation certificate.
It is certainly not so easy to find a job after graduation, and at that time, junior and senior high school graduates in the city have to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and junior high school students with rural household registration have a very slim chance of finding a job.
However, as long as you have the initial Chinese certificate, you can still take the college entrance examination after the college entrance examination resumes, and the opportunity to change your destiny is there.
As for whether to take the test or not, it depends on the comprehensive competition of personal effort and luck.
Besides, after graduating from junior high school, if you have the opportunity to join the army, you can also join the army.
Junior high school graduates have a cultural foundation and relatively large space for development in the army, and if they can be arranged to go to military schools in the army, they will be even more lucky.
Xia Miao and Qiu Yue didn't know that in just a short time, they thought of it so far.
The three of them quickly finished eating, and they didn't go to work this afternoon, so the three of them made an appointment to go to the mountains to pick wild fruits and find mountain goods in the afternoon.
As soon as Duan Huan finished taking a nap, he heard Qiu Yue calling himself at the gate of the courtyard, so he quickly got up and washed up briefly, put on his back and took a medicine hoe and hurried out.
Xiao Jin saw that he was about to go out, and he couldn't wait to go out with him.
When the two of them were greeting each other, Xia Miao walked over briskly with a big backpack on her back, and her forehead was still sweating.
"Xia Miao, why are you in such a hurry? We're talking about it, and we won't wait for you! Qiuyue looked at Xia Miao and said with a smile.
Xia Miao wiped her forehead, "Don't be afraid of being picked up by my sister, you have to come along, you don't want to see her, that's why I ran so fast!" ”
"Well done!" Qiu Yue immediately gave a thumbs up when she heard this, "It's good that you got rid of her, otherwise we would have been annoyed!" ”
Xia Miao told Qiu Yue and Duan Huan that he got a positive reply from Xu Jiajun that he would raise pigs and sheep next year, and he was not in a good mood now.
The three of them began to talk and laugh and go up the mountain, passing by the land where they dug Chuanbei in the autumn moon a few years ago, and after a few years of recuperation, this piece of Chuanbei is full again.
Duan Huan put forward the suggestion that these Chuanbei should not be dug all at once, leaving a quarter of Chuanbei not to dig until next autumn.
In this way, new seedlings can grow faster next year, and the quarter can be harvested again next year.
In this way, there are Chuanbei that can be dug every year, instead of waiting for a few years after digging like last time.
This proposal was immediately approved by Qiu Yue.
After Xia Miao heard this, he couldn't wait to raise his hands in approval, he didn't expect that Duan Huan and Qiu Yue would share this piece of Chuanbei with him.
When Qiu He and Xu Xianghong were beaten a few years ago, these Chuanbei were the fuse caused by the contradiction.
Afterwards, although everyone knew that Chuanbei was valuable, no one knew what Chuanbei seedlings looked like and didn't know how to concoct them, so they could only do it.
Now that we are happy to put forward the sustainable development plan of this Chuanbei, it means that it can bring a stable income every year.
Then there is hope for his annual tuition, isn't this exactly the result he wants.
After the three of them dug Chuanbei, they also picked some pears and plums on the way, and they all returned with a full load.
